I agree, as well. DX4WIN is great, as is, now that the new modes are recognized.

I've also pondered a lot about this and agree with you Zoran. The DX4WIN is just great as it is.

I totally agree Zoran There will be plenty garbage uploaded Example What If I know a future expedition That want be mapped correct?
